Week Two

The following images were created using monoprinting. With all its limitations and ineffectiveness in creating a clean image, i think it has been deemed as an amateur printing technique this maybe so however i do think there is a charm about the dirtyness in the prints, it is also possible to create a reverse of the image by placing paper onto the inked board and rolling it flat. I found this technique easier to understand than the relief print technique as it works by drawing a positive to create a positive on the reverse of the paper. 

Once i had understood the process i attempted to make a four color version, as you can see i used a little too much ink!
